Corrected entry: When Anna and Van Helsing are tailing the werewolf, Anna sees some fur hanging on a tree. Anna tells Van Helsing that after the first full moon a person remains a werewolf forever. Earlier in the movie, there is a shadow of a werewolf chained to the wall. Obviously the Velkan werewolf since Velkan had killed the werewolf that bit him. Since this werewolf is Velkan then that means that his first full moon has occurred and he should be trapped in werewolf form up until his death. But when he returns to his home he is seen as a human for just a few seconds, before changing back to a werewolf.

Van Helsing (2004)
Corrected entry: When Van Helsing "agrees" to trade Frankenstein for Anna, Aleera tells Van Helsing that there will be a masquerade ball in Budapest. Aleera never tells Van Helsing exactly where in Budapest the ball will be at but Van Helsing and Carl find it with no problem.
Correction: He simply got the information off-screen.
How though? After she delivers the message, she simply flies off. So who could have given the information to him?
Well, it's a "high-society" ball so it's a major event. In addition, remember Van Helsing is acting as the prime agent of a secret order that is implied to be a worldwide organization designed to respond as quick as possible to evil. With those sorts of resources, finding a social event that is likely the "talk of the town" would not be much of a challenge for the world's premiere investigator.

Van Helsing (2004)
Corrected entry: When Frankenstein's monster falls into the windmill in the beginning, you see a large gear fly up and out at the exact same angle at which Frankenstein just fell. Physically impossible, unless of course the gear was able to somehow move through the creature. And it does NOT have to do with Frankenstein falling into the cave underneath. (00:06:55)
Correction: It might have hit both Frankenstein and the monster on its way up without we noticing it as it all happens below the flaming inferno. Also we can the the wheel come spinning on its way up so it makes sense that they were hit by it instead of 'going through' them.

Van Helsing (2004)
Corrected entry: When the lightning hits the bridge as the friar crosses it, there is no real rain on the bridge, but a split second later, the bridge is inundated as if it had been rained on for minutes. (01:41:15)
Correction: You can clearly see it is raining on the bridge before and after the lightning strikes.

Van Helsing (2004)
Corrected entry: When Van Helsing is on the coach and is attacked by the brides a shot from behind the coach shows him riding through a pass cut through the mountain. It immediately cuts to a shot from the side and only trees are behind the coach. (01:11:45)
Correction: This was done to show them riding through the Carpathians before getting to Budapest. The scene with the mountains shows them in the Carpathians and the scene in the forest shows them getting in to Budapest.

Van Helsing (2004)
Corrected entry: Before Anna first sees Velcan transform into a werewolf, her hair changes slightly in several different shots while she investigates the strange noise.
Correction: Her hair remains as it is through all the scenes.

Correction: She didn't mean that you would stay a werewolf forever. She meant that once bitten by a werewolf, you would have the werewolf curse upon you forever.

Except that during the battle with the gray werewolf at the beginning of the movie, it took place during the day so that would mean that anyone who was infected would be a werewolf forever. If not, then the werewolf shouldn't be out during the day.
When Anna and Van Helsing go to Frankenstein's castle, Anna sees Velkan strapped to the machine. As she tries to free him, he turns into a werewolf and stays one until he is killed by Van Helsing. This shows that anyone infected by lycanthropy becomes a werewolf forever.
Not only that but, when Velkan, as a werewolf is chasing Van Helsing, Anna and Carl, the entire chase happens during the day and he doesn't become human again until he's killed.
